Another week has almost gone, the weekend will be crazy, so thought I better get my wee blog in, or Ali might growl when she comes to stay on Monday… hehe.
Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement and advice. What a great big family we are all, and during the difficult times, it is nice to know you are not alone.
I have had a good week so far, in my food choices and exercise, that is. Been feeling more positive, and had a couple of enlightening moments.
On Monday I made the pantry more ”safe” and threw out some lollies – and ”released” my addiction to them… it actually felt great!!! Yah, and have avoided the carrot cake that has been at work all week, and all those other evil food choices…
Not sure I am feeling ”positive” about seeing Damian and Phyllis on Monday night, (would have preferred to be back to goal when I saw them next) but I am telling myself positively, this is all my journey, I am not perfect, just human, and as I have not given up, just had a learning experience for a while ( I needed to learn how to cope with major stress, and not revert back to my old ways).
So, I will hold my head up high, and know in a short time I will be back at goal, and am working hard towards this goal.
One lightbulb moment, was in listening to Damian’s call on Tuesday night when he was discussing about health rather than weight, and realising that even though I had been not as focused as I should have been, my body is definitely healthier… Yah
The second lightbulb moment was in relation to our business partner….. I woke up one morning, and realised in a lot of ways he has been treating me in the same way as my ex husband treated me for years….. Okay, so I can’t walk away from this one, but I am stronger and wont go back to that place either…. so will learn how to cope with this situation and put strategies in place.
Here’s to the new Dawn… she is in control….. and is focused!
Have a great weekend… hope the snow doesn’t arrive, although as I am writing this, it is pouring outside, so will be back to the inside exercise again over the weekend, and trying to stay warm…at least I have a heater in the office, as it is paperwork and more paperwork for me (along with my exercise)
Yehaaaa!!! Gotta love lightbulbs!
You have nothing to fear from seeing Damian and Phyllis Love, thy are only concerned for you and your health!! So relax and enjoy seeing them again:)
Have a great visit with Ali

Hi Dawn! Good lightbulb moments!!! I know what you meant about wanting to have seen Damian & Phyllis being back to goal – I think sometimes that kind of thing works against us, you know? Having an ‘event’ or trip, instead of helping us focus, we sabotage ourselves… But I’m sure you’ll actually get some inspiration out of meeting with them again – I’m sorry Damian is not doing Wellington this time around, although, like you, I wish I had reached goal by now… About your business partner, good on you for looking at strategies to deal with him, because hey, we don’t need to put up with crap from anyone at this stage of our lives! Take care, Desi x
